Let's Talk About Race

Taking its title from Ralph Ellison’s "The Invisible Man," the current exhibition at the Artspace, titled,"Black Is, Black Ain’t," explores a shift in the rhetoric of race from an emphasis on inclusion to a moment where racial identity is being simultaneously rejected and retained. The exhibition brings together works by artists whose work together examines a moment where the cultural production of so-called “blackness” is concurrent with efforts to make race socially and politically irrelevant.
